CROWTHORNE pupils are heading off to some of the UK’s top universities after receiving this year’s A-level results.
Students at Edgbarrow School Sixth Form have achieved top results in A-level and vocational courses following a year of disrupted learning.
Stuart Matthews, headteacher at Edgbarrow, said: “The students are hugely deserving of their grades and now move onto a range of universities, apprenticeships and employment.”
Izzy Summersell and Issy Hunt both received offers to study at Oxford University. Izzy will now study German there from September, and Issy will enrol in Engineering on her preferred course at Bristol University.
Three pupils — Issie Reeves, Matthew Haskett and Adam Rooks — are off to study at Cambridge University, while students Ellie Killner and Daisy Coulthard will enrol on medicine courses.
Six pupils now plan to study degree apprenticeships with firms including Rolls Royce, Red Bull and Thames Valley Police.
Mr Matthews added: “Overall, our students are going to 21 of the top 33 universities in the UK, including Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, UCL, LSE, Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Warwick among numerous others.
“They have done extremely well as a whole cohort, including those who have chosen to take apprenticeships or go straight into employment.
“We’re grateful for the superb support of the students, students’ families and the hard work of staff who, together, have helped to make this happen. Our warmest congratulations.”
